My Project

My high school band is for grades 8-12. Currently there are 16 students in my band when they can all attend. Due to various scheduling conflicts that happen in a small school, I only ever get to see all 16 on the day of the concert. Believe it or not, having 16 students is over the 10% average of the high school student population that typically is in band. Because we are so small, our instrumentation is quite unique. I have 1 flute (a young shy 8th grader), 2 clarinets (both having only played a year), a couple trombones, a couple trumpets and a pile of saxophones. Add to that 2 young percussionists and an electric bass, and well. It's creates some unique sounds.

Often we are asked to perform for various events, including Memorial Day and Veterans Day.

This grouping of music will help us to be able to play something that we can put together without a lot of precious practice time and still not lose quality, even if some of my musicians cannot make it to the performance. These arrangements are many of the traditional pieces that the audience loves and enjoys listening to, time and again. Help us to keep giving back to the community through music!
